Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers, PhD, LMFT, CST-S (she/her) is a second-generation Swedish American whose upbringing was shaped by the rich traditions of her heritage and the deep connection to the land on which she was raised. As a child, Tina balanced her time between ice arenas as a competitive figure skater and her grandparents' Swedish homestead in Washington State. Situated on stolen Coast Salish land, particularly that of the Duwamish People, Tina remembers playing for hours among the sacred trees and at the waters edge of Puget Sound beaches. A blend of cultural and environmental influences fostered a deep appreciation for resilience, community, family, and the importance of honoring the land one inhabits.
Sandy, Oregon, where Tina now resides, is located on the unceded lands of the Cayuse, Umatilla, Walla Walla, and Clackamas Peoples. Here, she and her partner live on eight acres of sacred wooded land, creating a nurturing space where they support clinicians committed to patient-centered, just, and mindful psychedelic-assisted therapy and Expansive Integration.
As the first woman in her immigrant family to go to college and the first person to get an advanced degree, Tina’s professional journey is a testament to the shoulders upon which she stands and her passion to see people live liberated and well-connected lives. After 28 years as a professor of marriage and family therapy, medical family therapy, and sexuality at an accredited graduate program, she authored two influential books addressing the impacts of sexual shame and religious sexual trauma. Additionally, she founded The Northwest Institute on Intimacy, a post-graduate training program designed to equip clinicians with the skills to address sexual health and understand their own sexual biases.
With a commitment to advancing the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT), Tina became certified in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy (PAP), and MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy (MDMA-AP). She then founded Inanna Rising, an organization dedicated to supporting clinicians who aspire to provide high-quality, accessible, and affordable PAT care, especially to underserved communities. Tina recognized the potential for this transformative treatment to publicly unfold in ways that could perpetuate colonizing practices. Inanna Rising exists to be an example of how clinicians can do this clinical work in just and equitable ways without compromising patient care or practical training and sound business practice. Inanna Rising creates a safe and supportive container for clinicians to learn, grow, build trusted life long relationships, and feel holistically supported in this important work.
Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers continues to embody the values of integrity, compassion, and social responsibility as she nurtures a community of professionals committed to healing and justice in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy. She can be followed on IG @DrTinaShameless and @The_Swedish_YiaYia.

Regina Wei, LMFT (she/they), is an IFS trained Couples and Family Therapist with a specialization in Sex Therapy who will soon be certified in Psychedelic Assisted Therapy (May, 2025). Born and raised in a suburb of Seattle on the unceded ancestral lands of the Duwamish people, Regina is a second generation Chinese American who identifies as neurodiverse and queer; they acknowledge their privilege as a well-educated, fair-skinned, straight-passing individual.
The many years that Regina lived in Mongolia, China, Thailand, and Hawai'i fundamentally shaped how they move about in the world while also informing their approach to working with sacred plant medicines. Their Chinese ancestry and experiences living in non-Western (predominantly Buddhist) cultures provide a deep spiritual foundation that supports them in slowing down, staying connected with Nature, and prioritizing a collective/communal approach to healing.
Regina's background includes classroom teaching as well as practicing and teaching meditation, yoga, and energy healing. Their practice centers folx who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and/or neurodiverse and focuses on healing racial, intergenerational, sexual, and other traumas.
Standing up for racial and social justice in a Self-led (IFS) way is a priority for Regina. Before the midlife career change from teaching to providing therapy, Regina served as one of the main DEIJ (diversity, equity, inclusion and justice) practitioners at an independent school where they helped facilitate DEIJ conversations among students, faculty, and administration, co-led a DEIJ task force, and was a member of the hiring committee for the school's new Director of Equity. www.ReginaWei.com

Dr. Leslie Drapiza (she/her) is a board-certified Family Medicine physician who pivoted her career to psychedelic assisted therapy after working in primary care and obstetrics for over 15 years. As a primary care physician, she witnessed her patients struggle with treatment resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain. She saw how the current medical system continued to fail them.
She discovered psychedelics and experienced how they helped to heal her own trauma and improve her mental health. Knowing that her patients deserved that same level of healing in a way that integrated mind, body and spirit, she opened her private practice, Medicinal Innovations in April 2023, offering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.
She is committed to expanding access to those who have barriers to care and have been disadvantaged by our broken medical system. She completed Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy training through Polaris Insight Center and Rainfall Medicine. She is a graduate of the Innertrek Psilocybin Facilitator program. www.medicinalinnovations.com
